Congrats Pappy. Gotta love that old school craftsmanship. The goal of the bench hands at S&W and Colt was to create the finest revolvers in the world, guns that had more accuracy potential in them than what humans could employ - and they achieved it. Today's digitally controlled manufacturing is a wonderful thing that produces delightful mechanisms, but there's that "certain something" that is exhibited by the hand fitting/stoning/polishing of 20's-50's stuff that is of a level that's hard to verbalize.
+1!
I have one just like that Pappy from 1931 (not nearly as good of shape as yours) that is amazingly accurate!! That one will remain with me and someone else will have to sell it later😁! You’re going to love it!!
